Fantastic quote from a great segment. Very humanizing quote from an entertainingly dry guy. Reuben, that shade looks good on you!
My life goals, as simply as I can put them:
1. Provide for my family through a job that I love
2. Raise kind, competent children
3. Be a net positive for the world & the people in it
4. Die well and with dignity
Got #1 down, working on #2. And #3&4, well, we'll see!
